Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological trial trench evaluation was carried out by University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of an extension to Cadeby Quarry, Brascote, Newbold Verdon, Leicestershire (NGR: SK 442 028), for further sand and gravel extraction (Phases 2a and 2b). The site lies close to the deserted medieval village (DMV) of Brascote. A number of archaeological features were identified during the earlier phases of work to the north of the present site (Phases 1a and 1b). A geophysical survey undertaken prior to the evaluation identified possible archaeological features within the proposed extraction area, including a ring ditch. A number of archaeological features were revealed during the evaluation. These included a number of Romano-British features within Field 4, including evidence for a pottery kiln (1), alongside enclosure ditches and gullies (Features [8], [10], [12] etc). There were no features within the trenches in Field 5, except in Trench 18, where there was a substantial ditch [20] running broadly north to south, also containing Grey Ware pottery. This feature may represent the eastern edge of the archaeological remains. The probable northern arm of the prehistoric ring ditch revealed during the geophysical survey was revealed in Trench 03 as feature [16], also within Field 4, although no dating evidence was found. Evidence of quarrying of unknown date was also discovered at the edge of Field 4 in Trench 15. The hollow area in Field 6 was revealed to be a waterlogged depression, which is most likely a natural watercourse or spring. There were also two linear features in Trench 10 in Field 10, which were undated but may be medieval due to their proximity to the deserted medieval village to the east.
